Assignment #3 – Discussion Paper: Planning for Instruction This paper will discuss Chapter 4: Planning for Instruction from the course text, Teaching Physical Education Today Canadian Perspectives. This chapter discusses important considerations for planning, the process of planning, and provides the criteria to help create an effective lesson plan.

ability to design a curriculum that engages learners and sets the foundation for success. Heidi Hayes Jacobs believes that a good curriculum sets the path for students to take (Laureate Education, n.d.). The process of curriculum mapping helps to ensure that learning is cohesive and beneficial to the individual needs of our students. Curriculum mapping provides the foundation and vision of learning. Once that foundation is set, it is up to the teacher to bring each individual lesson to life in a way
secondary students. It was designed to assist to test for the learning and understanding of students, in the level of the three subjects --- Chinese language, English language and Mathematics. By the collected academic results of students, the curriculum planning with the education policies can be improved for better development of learning and teaching. Also, the general strengths and limitation of students can be observed so that teachers can set strategies for holistic development. Inter-school difference
Planning, teaching and assessment are essential in the primary school for a teacher to ensure that successful learning and progression takes place. These three components link together however they should not be considered as a linear experience because assessment should not and does not always occur at the end of these processes (Earl, 2003). The process has a cyclic nature where each part contributes to the final outcome; you must plan to be able to teach a lesson, but to do so you must assess
teaching in state-maintained schools, it is necessary that the National Curriculum Framework is followed and children are taught the relevant skills and knowledge stated within each Programme of Study. Therefore, there must be structure to the lessons where these skills and knowledge are to be developed throughout the academic year. Previous teaching strategies required teachers to follow a rigid plan where each individual lesson was to last one hour and be taught at a certain time on a certain day
Curriculum theory and practice There are a variety of definitions in relation to the term “curriculum”. Hence, in the educational field curriculum has always been one of the main aspect. In other word, “curriculum” seems to be considered as what teachers are going to teach and what learners are going to learn. Moreover, it has been designed to develop the attributes, knowledge and skills to allow children to be successful, confident, responsible and effective learners. Therefore, I am going to look
students motivated and excited for the lesson. Explore- The teacher should investigate new areas of learning and get the students active in their personal learning. Explain- The teacher should explain what is to be learnt. Elaborate- The teacher should elaborate so that the students can make connections to previous learning and show the relevance of the current learning and lastly evaluate- The teacher needs to determine which students understood the lesson; the teacher should evaluate their teaching
Kindergarten Reflection Entering my kindergarten teaching experience in the last quarter of school year I had to quickly become familiar with kindergarten content standards and the school’s curriculum. To do this I observed my mentor teachers instructional time with the children and gained as much information as I could about the children’s educational standing by developing a professional relationship with the my mentor teacher and the children. I learned that the majority of my kindergarten children

PLANNING FOR MATHS Planning is based around the individual math’s goals which are recommended by last year’s teacher, and are worked upon throughout the year. The teacher plans concentrating on the specific areas in the student goals which link to the Victorian Curriculum (VCAA 2016). The planning takes place linking to a specific theme which changes each term. Teachers keep records of work samples
professional practice I highlight the need for students to be stretched and challenged as a foundation for motivation and learner satisfaction. This links with the planning of my lessons to teach the curriculum. Furthermore within my teaching I have high aspirations for the learners and encourage them to succeed. This is shown within my teaching and planning as I display enthusiasm towards challenging tasks. This inspires students and accelerates students learning. It has been proven that teacher led sessions
